Chapter 260 Whose will (Part 2)
Yuzhou. Wei Palace. Conference Hall
Wang Hongyi sat on the imperial throne, and civil officials and military generals were arranged below.
The dragon throne is wide and high, and can sit three people upright in the middle. Wang Hongyi listened quietly to the official below reading the news from Liangzhou.
"...The Hu people in Liangzhou have been found out that they were led by Hu Khan's eldest son Baru, with 30,000 soldiers. They have now captured Yanchi County!"
The light flashed in Wang Hongyi's eyes, and the palace was filled with red and purple like clouds. The ministers and generals below were all filled with clouds, but they all surrendered to themselves and were connected with their own luck.
"What is your prediction about the King of Qin?" Wang Hongyi asked.
Looking from a distance, Wang Hongyi saw various luck, which were entangled with each other, but in general, they were controlled and turned into a torrent, controlled by himself.
"The King of Qin has no hinterland, Guanzhong is broken, but he is unable to support the capture of the world. There is no possibility of competing for the world. Now his choice is nothing more than two, one is to surrender the Hu people, and the other is to surrender the king."
"The Duke of Zheng has no choice. Now he does not have a border with the Hu people, so it is difficult for him to surrender even if he wants to surrender. I think he can send an envoy to persuade him to surrender."
"The overall situation of the world is clear. Only the king and the Hu people compete for the world. Now it is advisable to correct their status and ask the king to ascend the throne and become emperor, and follow the heavens and follow the fate. Only in this way can we send envoys to command the world with the throne." Zhang Youzhi said, all of which were just right and reasonable.
After hearing this, the ministers were stunned and did not want to publicly persuade this person to enter. No wonder they could be favored.
At this time, the ministers bowed together: "Please ascend the throne and become emperor to reign with the world."
With this call, the originally red torrent of luck fluctuated violently, and a red sun appeared faintly in the torrent, and the red dragon roared and flew, hoping to soar with the sun.
Wang Hongyi looked at his cauldron again and saw that the luck consumed in Yuzhou had recovered after several months of treatment, and the purple air was boiling, just like a bubble, only one line away from the mouth of the cauldron.
"The emperor's aura has not been born yet, but it is time to be the emperor." Wang Hongyi thought in his heart that he should not wait for his luck to do everything before he can do it. There are pros and cons to be promoted in advance, but this is the time to be brave and diligent.
"This is discussed beforehand. Now there are a few important things to be done immediately. Youzhou affairs should not be done. Let the navy prepare and take back the last group of people."
"I ordered the country to recruit soldiers, 500,000, and the soldiers were relocated from various places. Training began after the New Year. By March, the army would be reorganized and led by veterans. The Ministry of War had listed plans to let the troops fight in rotation!"
"Now, after stepping up the Xuzhou offensive, putting down Xuzhou, then making a decision!"
At this time, Wang Hongyi had a serious face. Although he had bought a lot of time, he would still have a fierce battle against the Hu people. In fact, there are 400,000 soldiers now, but it is far from enough. Now it is time to step up the recruitment.
Food and grass and soldiers are not sufficient. Now it depends on how long Youzhou can support it and when Xuzhou will be released.
After entering Xuzhou, the navy can go straight to the Yellow River, taking the Yellow River as the natural barrier.
Support was also sent to Liangzhou, but it was not an alliance, and there were only limited things that could be done.
At this time, all the ministers pondered for a while and said, "I have no objection."
Wang Hongyi smiled slightly and said, "It's almost the New Year. Thank you all for your hard work. I will still have to go back to Jinling this year!"
After saying this, the ministers remembered that they were cautiously walking on thin ice for the past six months and finally pacified Yuzhou. Now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and go home. They hurriedly bowed their heads and shouted: "Thousands of years, Thousands of years, Thousands of years!"
Xuzhou, Pengcheng County, Zaizhi County
The cold wind stormed, rolled over the ground, brought up a few dead grass, spun a few times in the air, and then fell down.
The county under Pengcheng County ruled, and a war had just ended. The county was destroyed and the Chu army flocked into it.
In the distance, there were densely packed camps.
The 50,000 army occupied a lot of camps and had a large number of banners. Under the support of elite soldiers, Fan Liuhai came to the front of the military formation.
"If you pass the order, if you can capture the county magistrate of this city alive, you will have double the credit!" If you are interested in seeing the county magistrate guarding the city, Fan Liuhai ordered that you can capture the survivor and leave the other party with a survivor.
The Chu army, who was sieging the city, took a lot of effort to take down the county town.
Although the county town was not big, no matter whether the city wall was high or thick or the moat was wide or narrow, it was not as good as the county town attacked by the Chu army, an old county magistrate stationed in the county town had a high prestige. Therefore, the Chu army delayed here for three days before forcing the county town.
The personal soldiers responded quickly and sent orders to the generals who entered the city.
Strictly speaking, this battle lasted for one day. It can be said that the Chu army was strong and there were still many casualties. These wounded soldiers had been arranged to heal their wounds in the camp. After the county town was cleaned up, they would enter the city to recuperate.
At this time, there were still sounds of killing in the city. Although the city was broken, there were still sporadic resistance in the city. The war had changed from siege to street fighting. From time to time, the shouts of killing from the city could be heard clearly outside the city.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Fan Liuhai looked at the county town and did not do any more.
The three commanders led their troops into the city. If the county town cannot be quickly pacified, he will consider replacing people.
How can I use the slaughter of a ox to kill a chicken? Fan Liuhai is attacking the head coach and will never take the lead in this matter.
At this time, the battlefield had been almost cleaned, the dead were dragged away and buried, and the wounded were carried into the camp for treatment. Occasionally, there were clusters of flames on the ground, and when the wind was blown, streams of black smoke rose and drifted away with the wind.
An unpleasant smell of blood filled the air, and it dissipated with the gust of cold wind.
"How have all the wounded soldiers been placed?" Fan Liuhai entered the camp and asked a guard general who was greeting.
The general of the guard hurriedly replied: "General, the military Chinese medicine practitioner is treating the wounded soldiers in the tent."
"Let me lead the way, I'll take a look." After thinking about it, Fan Liuhai said in a deep voice.
"As for order!" The guard responded and walked in front.
In front of a tent, the guard stopped, turned around and said to Fan Liuhai: "General, the tent in front is one of them. In addition to this tent, there are two tents to be used to accommodate wounded soldiers."
Fan Liuhai had already dismounted his horse and handed the reins to his personal soldiers. He strode towards the tent ahead.
The personal soldiers lifted the curtain of the camp and Fan Liuhai walked in from outside.
But there were more than a dozen wounded soldiers in this camp tent lying neatly.
In the past, there were treatments in the military camp, but it was full of fishy and unpleasant smells, filled with moans and screams. But now, the low beds in the camp tent are neat and all the filthy garbage is eliminated. It must be disinfected with lime. This is far better than before. This is because the king system established a medical officer.
The medical officer system established in Jishui County back then has become very large and mature after so many years.
"General!" Seeing Fan Liuhai coming in, the wounded soldier was stunned first, and then he had to struggle to sit up.
Fan Liuhai stopped him: "Lying down, lying down! Since you are injured, you must rest until you are resting!"
Fan Liuhai asked the doctor who treated them again. He knew that although the wounded soldiers were seriously injured, they had no worries about their lives. After comforting the wounded soldiers, Fan Liuhai walked out.
The same is true for the two camps.
"General, these wounded soldiers cannot keep up with the team. Do you want them to stay in this county to recuperate as usual?" Fan Liuhai walked towards the war horse, and the guard general in charge of the matter said inquiring.
Fan Liuhai got on the horse with agility and said, "Do as usual."
"No." The guard responded.
Fan Liuhai didn't stop for much, and took his personal soldiers out of the camp. At this time, the battlefield outside the city had been cleaned up.
Fan Liuhai slowly rode his horse and circled around him. He found that the blood on the ground gradually penetrated into the soil. The bloody smell in the air was no longer so heavy.
At this moment, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Looking at the direction of the city gate, a cavalry was running out of the city and coming towards this side.
Seeing this person coming, Fan Liuhai slightly tied the reins of the horse.
As soon as the visitor arrived in front of Fan Liuhai, he immediately turned over and bowed down and quickly reported: "General, the situation in the city has stabilized. County Magistrate Zhang Taiyue refused to surrender and committed suicide. The defenders led by him were all eliminated, and there were 321 prisoners. At present, several adults are rectifying the order of the county town. I specially ordered me to come out to report the situation!"
"Has he committed suicide?" Fan Liuhai felt a little sorry for hearing this.
The dead Zhang Taiyue was considered a famous loyal and righteous person in Xuzhou, but he guarded a county town here, which was really a bit insignificant. This person could surrender to the Chu army, and he would not be buried with his ability, but he did not expect that this person was so strong.
Forget it, die if you die.
It’s just that it depends on the good skills and good reputation that it is willing to recruit people. Since the other party is dead, it’s time to be buried in a good life.
Fan Liuhai didn't have much hope, so he sighed at this moment.
"It's good, it saves a lot of trouble, let's have a grand funeral!" After saying that, he ignored it again.
In the county town, the war had just ended, and the low pressure had been shrouding on this land and had never dissipated.
Generally speaking, even if you win, you just occupy the city. It will take some time to truly master this land and end the war in Xuzhou.
Otherwise, if you come today, he will come tomorrow, and the regime will change, people will really have no confidence in the army occupying this place, and they will not sincerely return.
But during this period, there were constant riots in the city, which was a troublesome for the Chu army.
Therefore, every time one place is occupied, the Chu army will kill first, which means that it will lead the deadly tough guys and local bullies to behead the heads and use human heads to intimidate the place.
The officials sent thereafter will appease the hearts of the people and make the people feel at ease.
Moreover, the reputation of the Chu army played a significant role in pacifying the entire Xuzhou.
Although fame is indeliberate and unseen, it can always play a specific role at critical moments. Under Wang Hongyi's attention, the Chu army abides by military discipline, which is amazing. The title of the king's army has spread throughout the world, which of course plays a great role in stabilizing the new occupied areas.
At this time, dark clouds dispersed, the sun showed its outline, and a layer of golden light spread out on the ground, and the entire street seemed to be covered with gold, making people feel a little confused.
With the sound of horse hooves, a team of cavalry in armor patrolled the streets.
Because the battle had just ended, there were a few pools of blood on the street from time to time, but no corpses were seen crossing the street. It should have been dragged away after the war was over.
The purpose is not only to the city, but also to curb the spread of diseases and be cautious in everything so that you can do your job.
At this moment, shops and houses on the street are closed, and occasionally someone peeks out through the cracks in the door, but they are cautious and dare not speak out.
Although the Chu army was known for benevolence and righteousness, no one would deliberately bet on their own lives at this time.
It is only one thing to lose, and the people are still watching at this time. Therefore, except for the sound of horse hooves and the lowly conversations of the cavalry, the entire county town was silent.
"Leave the wounded soldiers and the guards of the guards, have a full meal in the camp, and raise an army to detach the camp!" Fan Liuhai took a look and immediately issued an order.
Now in Xuzhou County, the resistance power is very small, and only Pengcheng County is left!
Chapter completed!
